Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

How does a CGM work?

A coin-sized sensor on the back of your arm reads glucose in the fluid under your skin every few minutes and sends it to your phone. No fingersticks, no lab visits — a continuous curve of your real life instead of a single fasting snapshot.

What can CGM data reveal that labs can't?

Labs show averages; a CGM shows behavior. It identifies which specific foods spike you, how walking after meals blunts the spike, what poor sleep does to next-day glucose, and how stress shows up metabolically — patterns invisible to any quarterly blood draw.

International consensus (Battelino 2019) defines time-in-range and variability targets, giving CGM interpretation a rigorous clinical framework rather than wellness guesswork.

Do CGMs make sense for non-diabetics?

For a defined discovery window, yes. Two weeks of data typically reveals your personal glucose response fingerprint — which foods, timing and habits drive your variability. The evidence base in non-diabetics is still developing, so we treat CGM as an assessment tool inside a clinician-reviewed program, not a gadget to wear forever.

How does Integrated Wellness use CGM data?

Your CGM stream enters the Digital Twin, where the Matrix Engine reads it alongside fasting insulin, lipid fractionation, body composition and training load. The output — meal timing, glycemic strategy and exercise-zone targets — is reviewed by your physician before it reaches you.

What happens after the CGM window?

You keep the insights, not necessarily the sensor. The protocol built from your data runs 8–16 weeks, then labs are retested — and a follow-up CGM window can verify that your real-world glucose behavior actually changed.
